Video topic: What If Australia and New Zealand United?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What if Australia and New Zealand became one country? First off, theyโ€™d have around 32 million people, still smaller than Canada, but much bigger than either alone. The new nation would cover an enormous area, from the Outback to the Southern Alps, making it one of the most geographically diverse countries on Earth. Politically, theyโ€™d be a powerhouse in the Pacific. Instead of two voices, theyโ€™d have one unified seat in global organizations, and likely more influence in the United Nations, trade deals, and regional security. Economically? The merger would combine Australiaโ€™s natural resources with New Zealandโ€™s agriculture and clean energy. That could make the new country one of the strongest economies in the Southern Hemisphere. Sports fans would see the biggest shake-up, the Wallabies and the All Blacks combining into one rugby team? Almost unfair
